  • Boatbuilding Materials for Small-Scale Fisheries in India
    BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME BOBP/WP/9 Development of Small-Scale Fisheries (G CP/RAS/040/SWE) BOATBUILDING MATERIALS FOR BOBP/WP/9 SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES IN INDIA Executing Agency: Funding Agency: Food and Agriculture Organisation Swedish International of the United Nations Development Authority Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal Madras, India, October 1980 PREFACE This paper summaries a study on the availability and prices of materials used to construct the hulls of fishing craft for the important small-scale fisheries of the East Coast of India. The paper should be of interest to development planners, legislators and administrators. Builders of fishing craft, suppliers of materials, and owners and prospective owners of fishing craft may also find useful the information on trends in prices and availability of boatbuilding materials and the possibilities of alternative materials. The study covered the following boatbuilding materials: timber for kattumarams and boats; fibre-reinforced plastics; ferrocement; steel; and aluminium, which is used forsheathing wooden hulls and is also a construction material in its own right. The study was carried out by Matsyasagar Consultancy Services Private Limited under contract to the Programme for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal, GCP/ RAS/040/SWE (usually abbreviated to the Bay of Bengal Programme). The Programme is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA). The main aims of the Bay of Bengal Programme are to develop and demonstrate technologies by which the conditions of small-scale fishermen and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector may be improved, in five of the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

  • Plan # 306 Is the Bass Boat Version of Our GP21 Boat Series (General Purpose Boat 21')
    Specifications: LOA: 21' 6.4 m Max. Beam: 8' 2.44 m Hull draft (2000 lb): 8" 0.2 m Displacement at DWL: 3500 lb 1587 Liters PPI at DWL: 578 lbs 102 kg/cm Fuel: 50 Gallons 200 liters Recommended engine 90-150 HP 65-115 KW Material: Epoxy-fiberglass-plywood composite Plan # 306 is the Bass Boat version of our GP21 boat series (General Purpose boat 21'). The GP21 has the ideal hull shape for a Bass Boat. The GP21 is a wide garvey hull with good planing characteristics, stable, roomy and smooth running in a moderate chop. The hull is based on a proven work boat shape. There are several companies producing variations on that type of hull, mostly in aluminum. This hull shape is a good compromise between comfort and performance. The wide hull is stable and has plenty of usable deck area but the deadrise, in particular at the bow, is deep enough to run smoothly in a chop. The vee at the transom is only 3 degrees but a sharp 26 degrees at the cutwater. Also, at the chine, the bow becomes much narrower, almost like a standard vee hull but the side panel flares open to a wide deck. Estimated hull weight (with all components but empty tank and medium size motor) varies greatly with layout and features but will average 1,400 lbs. Speed estimates for a displacement of 3,000 lbs and 90 HP give a top speed of 26 mph. Same boat with 150 HP: 34 mph. At 2,000 lbs (light) and 90 HP: 32 mph and up to 41 mph with a 150.

  • Shipbuilding Catching Shellfish
    IntroductionIntroduction Much of the East Riding of Yorkshire adjoins water: the North Sea and the River Humber and its tributaries. Over the centuries men have needed boats to travel over the water and to gather food from under it. Naturally people with the right skills set up to build these boats. Some ship building operations are quite well known, such as those in Beverley and Hull. They have been documented in exhibitions in other local museums. This exhibition looks at some less well known boat building yards and boat builders both on the east coast and along the banks of the Humber. It has been researched and produced by the Skidby Windmill Volunteer Team. Prehistory- the Ferriby boats The Yorkshire Wolds have been home to people since Neolithic times and the River Humber has been an important transport route allowing goods and people to travel in all directions by water. For thousands of years this was the easiest and safest way to travel. It is therefore not surprising that North Ferriby was the site of one of the oldest boatyards in Europe as well as being an important harbour. Above: hypothetical reconstruction of a Ferriby boat. Right: Excavation in 1963 In 1937 changes to the tidal currents exposed three large oak planks preserved in the mud which Ted and Willy Wright recognised as belonging to very early boats. At first these were thought to be Viking but later tests confirmed that they were Bronze Age and, at 4000 years A half-scale replica of the Ferriby boats called Oakleaf has been built and sea trials proved old they are some of the oldest boats discovered in Europe.

  • The Charlotte Sawdust February 1999
    THE CHARLOTTE SAWDUST FEBRUARY 1999 February’s Meeting “Claw & Ball Carving” by Robert Reading February’s meeting topic will be a presentation on Claw & Ball Carving by John McAlister. Mr. McAlister had recently made a reproduction of a Goddard-Townsend secretary, for which Fine Woodworking Magazine honored him with the back cover. He was featured in the April 1998 issue (no. 129). John's work is also featured in our gallery of members’ work. New members should take a look at what is in the gallery. Members’ Gallery by Dave Lewis The Charlotte Woodworkers Association maintains a Members’ Gallery where you can show off your projects. It’s on display at every meeting, and at special functions in which the Association participates. To have your projects shown in the Gallery, it’s a simple matter of providing Dave Lewis with a good quality photo (color preferred) and a brief description of the project. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten recent photos. Many of you must have had Christmas projects to do. Let's have a copy of your latest effort to share with others. Since the Charlotte Woodworkers Association is now on-line (www.charlottewoodworkers.org), we'll also need more photos for the Web Site. Call Dave Lewis (541-0411) if you need help with the photography. Scanning is available to get your photos on-line, too. After all, there’s nothing quite like having a worldwide audience for your work! Last Month’s Meeting “Veneering” by David Waters We would like to thank Jack Coobs for January’s presentation on veneering.

  • Investigating the Vulnerabilities of Structures to Ignition from a Firebrand Attack
    Investigating the Vulnerabilities of Structures to Ignition From a Firebrand Attack SAMUEL L. MANZELLO1, JOHN R. SHIELDS1, YOSHIHIKO HAYASHI2, and DAISAKU NII2 1Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8662 USA 2Department of Fire Engineering Building Research Institute (BRI) 1 Tachihara, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-802 Japan ABSTRACT A unique experimental apparatus, known as the Firebrand Generator, was used to generate a controlled and repeatable size and mass distribution of glowing firebrands. The size and mass distribution of firebrands produced from the generator was selected to be representative of firebrands produced from burning vegetation. The vulnerability of roofing materials to firebrand attack was ascertained using fluxes of firebrands produced using this device. The experiments were performed at the Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility (FRWTF) at the Building Research Institute (BRI) in Tsukuba, Japan. A custom mounting assembly was constructed to support full scale sections of common roofing materials inside the FRWTF. The sections constructed for testing included full roofing assemblies (base layer, tar paper, and shingles) as well as only the base layer material, such as oriented strand board (OSB). The custom mounting assembly allowed for the construction of flat roofs as well as the construction of angled roofs (valleys). Results of this study are presented and discussed. KEYWORDS: wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires, ignition, firebrands, roofing INTRODUCTION The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is defined as a location where structures meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. In 2003, WUI fires in the vicinity of San Diego, California displaced nearly 100,000 people and destroyed over 3000 homes, leading to over $2B in insured losses [1].
